Flojo & Angele, love both of your quilts. Flojo the stain glass is so cute & I know your GD will love it. Flojo, you did an excellent job on your baby quilt. It is so cute.

So my nephew & his wife are expecting a little boy in September so I found this pattern in one of the many quilting magazines I subscribe to. It was pretty siimple. She sent me a picture of the baby's room so I would be able to match the colors. Blues, tan & greys so this is what I finished today. I appliquéd his first name (Boone T) on the top and his last name on the bottom. I decided to use some of the leftover fabrics to make the backing I think she will like it.

I've traced my design on tear away, and i'm getting ready to quilt my sandwich. I wondered though if there was an easier way has any company made tear away sheets for ink jet printers? Because after tracing with my mark b gone on the tear away I thought what a waste of marker when its just gonna be torn away maybe i could've used a regular pen. What do you say on that?

Try using a pencil. Thin tear away sheets might get stuck in the printer (trust me on that) LOL.

There might be a tear away you can use in the printer but then you'll be wasting ink.

As much as I would have liked to quilt today, I had to bury my father...then my DH (such a gem!), took me to the boardwalk to "get away from it all" for the evening...we've had the week from Hell since finding Dad on Monday morning (we think he actually passed on the 6th). My mother passed away 3 months ago, so this has been one heck of a summer :(
